Answer:

The stronger electrolyte is the HCl

Explanation:

Stronger electrolyte are the ones, that in water, completely dissociates.

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

HCl(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₃O⁺ (aq)  +  Cl⁻(aq)

Both are acids, they bring protons to medium but the hydrochloric completely dissociates.

HF (aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄  H₃O⁺(aq) +  F⁻(aq)           Ka

In the dissociation of weak electrolytes, they ionize but at the same time they bond again, so the reaction is always kept in equilibrium.

Explanation:

A neutralization is a type of double replacement reaction. a salt is the product of an acid-base reaction and is a much broader term then common table salt.

Example:-

(i) HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + HOH

(ii) H2SO4 + 2NH4OH ---> (NH4)2SO4 + 2HOH.

To a 25.00 mL volumetric flask, a lab technician adds a 0.150 g sample of a weak monoprotic acid, HA , and dilutes to the mark w
Elis [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of weak acid is 4.24\times 10^{-3} moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of KOH, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

We are given:

Volume of solution = 43.81 mL = 0.04381 L      (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)

Molarity of the solution = 0.0969 moles/ L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0969mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}}{0.04381}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol

The chemical reaction of weak monoprotic acid and KOH follows the equation:

HA+KOH\rightarrow KA+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of KOH reacts with 1 mole of weak monoprotic acid.

So, 4.24\times 10^{-3}mol of KOH will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 4.24\times 10^{-3}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol of weak monoprotic acid.

Hence, the number of moles of weak acid is 4.24\times 10^{-3} moles.

A compound is 54.53% c, 9.15% h, and 36.32% o by mass. what is its empirical formula? the molecular mass of the compound is 132
Yakvenalex [24]
 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>
